reconbot, 2 months ago to Redis

I have built beautiful things on top of #Redis I’ve used the majority of its features in production. I’ve sat through sales meetings with redis labs. In my estimation (colored by my needs at the time) they have a paltry feature set on top of core. They are a hosting company who’s hijacked an open source project and funneled money into it to try and solve bigger problems.

I’m still processing but this severance from the community is probably one of the best things that could happen long term.

Was #Redis labs not profitable? Was AWS that big of a threat? Did the mind virus of Hashi Corp wanting to push their needs above the communities somehow convince Redis Labs they had to do the same thing to survive?

1/ #TypeScript: Common approach for validating untyped data—e.g. Zod: https://2ality.com/2020/06/validating-data-typescript.html
– Encode type via runtime data (“schema”).
– Schema is converted to static type for type-checking.

New approach—Typia. https://typia.io/docs/setup/
– Compile static type to (runtime) validation code.
– Downside: Tools don’t work that strip out types and run result.

Rust does latter approach well. For TS, I prefer former.

It's probably a net benefit but async/await killed promise chaining and sometimes it is really intuitive and beautiful.

I think it's because .then isn't a horrible pipeline operator and It lets you treat errors like data instead of exceptions.

Compliance is the root of all evil. So, you want to destroy the SSD? Drill all SSDs. Destroyed finally. All data is safe. Let’s go home.

Those that have met me in person in the last two years know that I cannot stop talking about it, and how happy I am with my new super power.

Yes, I posted that myself:

I’m inspired to reimagine my blog as a geocoties site. I just don’t have any gargoyles or spawn wav or gif files anymore.

Finally I found a good use case for the return value of yield statement in a JS generator: a very tiny bit-stream parser: https://gist.github.com/indutny/d7ad488cb8ba3264df9c270b711c46ed

I might be able to write a sufficiently simple DEFLATE parser with this without too much pain!

What do you think?

Article is out re the usage of Discord to organise the recent spam waves against the fediverse, with quotes from myself on the matter.

Thanks @Sarahp for helping organise this!

Am I right I’m assuming that these constant tech #layoffs are;

• new; I don’t remember two happening in a year and now it’s every week
• cash grabs; as a way to bump the stock
• anti union; this summer it seemed like organized tech labor was an inevitable thing and now everyone seems really conservative and fearful

It feels like oligarchs throwing their weight around reminding us who’s boss.

My husband just opened the door to the tent on our bed and said "is there room for two more?" and I’m still laughing.
